Early Life
Hank Baskett was born Henry Randall Baskett III on September 4, 1982, in Clovis, New Mexico. His mother, Judy, worked at Cannon Air Force Base as a financial officer, and his father, Hank Jr., ran the Oasis Children's Advocacy Center for more than 20 years until retiring in 2015. Baskett has a brother named Randy, and he attended Clovis High School, where he played football, track, and basketball. After graduating with a 4.0 GPA in 2001, Baskett played football at the University of New Mexico. He was the team's leading receiver for two years, earning the Reese Leroy Hill Memorial Award for Offensive Player of the Year. Hank received All-Mountain West Conference honors during his senior year, and he earned a degree in General Management in 2006.
Career
In 2006, Baskett was signed by the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent. That season the Vikings traded him to the Philadelphia Eagles for Billy McMullen. After joining the Eagles, Hank earned rookie of the week honors for completing 112 receiving yards against the Dallas Cowboys and 177 receiving yards against the Atlanta Falcons; he also scored one touchdown in each of those games. In 2007, he was named the Special Teams MVP. Baskett was a restricted free agent during the 2009 offseason and was given a one-year contract in February of that year. Since the Eagles had six other wide receivers, the team released him in September 2009 in order to make room for Michael Vick, who had been released from prison in July after serving 21 months for his involvement in a dog fighting ring. After being released from the Eagles, Hank signed a one-year contract with recent Super Bowl champions the Indianapolis Colts. While on the Colts, the team played in Super Bowl XLIV in February 2010, but when the New Orleans Saints made a touchdown after Baskett did not recover an onside kick, the team released him the next day.

Baskett played in eight games, and in March 2011, his contract was not extended. Besides his football career, Hank is known for his appearances on reality television. From 2009 to 2011, Baskett and his then-wife Kendra Wilkinson starred on "The Girls Next Door" spin-off "Kendra," which aired 45 episodes over four seasons.
